As you may have noticed, this blog has been hugely neglected. Actually, it feels really funny even being inside a Blogger dashboard, it's been so long.

Speaking of Blogger, it's actually what burned. me. out. on designing. To be perfectly honest, I don't want to design for Blogger again.

I've enjoyed a much-needed break from design work. When your kids say, "Please, Mommy, just tell people you don't do blogs anymore," you know it's time for a change.

I discovered photography in a serious way and it's my first love now.

I've enjoyed blogging again. It's difficult to maintain a design business, blog, and homeschool at the same time.

Speaking of homeschooling, I'm a new Challenge II director with Classical Conversations this year. It is an enormous time commitment, and really limits time for other projects during this first school year. Once I survive, we'll see...

I moved my friend, Ann Voskamp at A Holy Experience, from Blogger to WordPress recently. Love her!

When I really decide to get this gig moving again, you'll probably see a new design here first. In the meantime, I'll probably be puttering around behind the scenes, doing a little of this and that.

This blog is to promote the new book Learning to Live Financially Free by Marybeth and Curt Whalen. I haven't seen the book yet, but I think there's a brief story about me as a stay-at-home mom working from home. I had a great time sitting down with Marybeth for our "interview" at She Speaks last summer; I count her as a friend.
